 '''Phyllanthus amarus''' is widely used as a medicinal plant in Ayurvedic medicine. An infusion is considered a good tonic, diuretic and antipyretic. A decoction of the aerial parts or only of the leaves is taken to treat gonorrhoea, diarrhoea, dysentery, stomach-ache, pain in the sides, haemorrhoids and absence of menstruation or female sterility. A suppository of the leaf paste is applied to the vagina to treat absence of menstruation and polyps. Leaf sap, mixed with palm oil or not, is applied as ear drops to treat otitis and applied to abscesses, sores and wounds.<ref name="uses"/>

Numerous phytochemicals such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, lignans and polyphenolics as well as tetracyclic triterpenoids have identified and isolated from the plant (Foo and Wong, 1992; Foo, 1993 and 1995; Leite et aletc., 2006; Londhe et al., 2009; Moronkola et al., 2009). Based on the numerous folkloric applications of Phyllanthus amarus that have not been scientifically proven, this study aimed at identifying the chemical composition of the non-polar and polar extracts of P<ref name="chemical composition"/>
